You won't start seeing quality HEVC encodes for at least another 3-5 years, and worldwide adaption for it in at least another decade. So why are you crying about it so much?

ThatClockworkPlanetGuy, I'm not gonna contradict you on your statements because in all honesty I'm not that much of an expert but just keep in mind a few things. HEVC 'should' be the same or superior in about ~2 times lesser bandwidth. Talking from a technical standpoint. But there are MANY slices to this pie: Source: Is it the same source? Many HEVC are CR re-encodes and lossy to lossy encoding is obviously a bad idea. In case they claim it was BD it's usually a re-encode from the groups you mentioned so you end up comparing the original with a re-encode. Bandwidth: like you said 5-7 times lesser bw for HEVC in many rips. Ofc the quality is gonna suffer. Bit depth: I've seen 8 vs 10 bit h264 and the difference was substantial in rendering gradients (sky for instance) especially in anime. H265 even has 12 bit depth iirc. Other settings: There are presets that help with the type of source you're dealing with: animation, live-action, lots of movement etc... This is where I called it quits. Good settings here can make or break an encode and I honestly couldn't be asked to research more. Many people are probably in the same boat so again quality suffers. Quality freaks like DDY/FFF will probably pour more time here.
Why is HEVC so popular then. Well, IMO it's down to hardware and convenience. A decent HEVC or even h264 will look the same on my shitty 1376x766 15" laptop screen as HQ stuff will. Some people watch stuff on their phone ... STREAMED, with WATERMARKS. I've seen these people myself so don't be surprised if they'll pass a 1GB/ep encode. HEVC is more than good, it's good enough. Size matters very much: people get caps on their internet in some places, you can watch your show faster if the file is smaller, disk storage not that much of a problem but it is there. Hence why AAC wins over FLAC. Lossy vs Lossless. No brainer right? But 10X the file size and imperceptible difference from the 20$ headeset on an average user will put it to rest. If you're really hell bent on comparing these 2 encoders get original BD files and fiddle the CRF until the HEVC one is at least half the size of the h264 and compare, other setting being the same. Try different bit depths too, different presets and stuf. I'm actually curious too but don't have the time and motivation to do this on my own. Nice choice in anime btw, Enju is such a QT. Gotta go now, typed too much and am also hearing police sirens.
Here ya go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCM69omIEpQ Megumin in 60 fps glory. And bare in mind this is interpolated to be 60fps and not originally filmed this way. But it's twice the bitrate so that's why it probably not adopted.

I didn't read any of the follow up. Did I miss anything important?
Format Windows 7 64 and Install Linux Mint 64. You can watch Anime and music on Linux Mint, just install SMPlayer or MPV. VLC comes preloaded but we all know VLC sucks. You can also play games on Linux, just install Steam, Playonlinux and Lutris.
Linux is the kernel. Linux OS is built on top of it.

Damn. Sorry about that. All of these confusing replyes and anons are extremely entertaining! Im cant stop laughing. I actually start laughing as soon as I open AT.
Mint doesn't hold back security updates, it simply doesn't install updates that may make system unstable or unable to boot. You can always select "Always update everything" if you want. https://cdn.ghacks.net/wp-content/uplo...anager.png
I had tried various things, so pretty sure it was none of those (tried adding/removing trackers, was original content so couldn't have been banned, and the torrent file was definitely valid). Thanks for the info nonetheless.
And your network idea won't work, as admin already pointed out why, in your last post about that.
I can't see a P2P system working well, but if you centralize, you could replicate updates down to 3rd party servers. The issue then is: who becomes the new central server when the old one dies?
Have personally received the "teapot" errors when attempting to upload to Nyaa in the past. Chat wasn't of much help. I expect something as popular as Nyaa to need some sort of filtering, but it would've been nice if they had at least provided rejection reasons. An open source project may not have hidden rejection reasons or logic, but we'll have to see whether being so transparent holds up against bad actors out there (alternatively, they could just run a fork with hidden code in there at the expense of being less open).
